The team behind the famous Bristol restaurant Casamia have confirmed they are launching a new venue. This month, renowned chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias will open Casa, on the former site of his Michelin-starred family restaurant in Bristol.
Casamia closed permanently on August 20, 2022, due to its "financial unviability", a restaurant where a meal for two would set you back £360 for its luxurious 20 courses, which BristolLive awarded five stars in 2021. At the time, Mr Sanchez-Iglesias said that his family - who have a 30-year history in the restaurant industry - planned to open a more casual restaurant at the same site as soon as this Christmas.
The team says it will be "a contemporary, accessible, yet refined take on traditional Italian dining, acting as a sibling to Peter’s Michelin-starred Spanish institution Paco Tapas next door". Casa will be 66-cover restaurant that will offer a similarly relaxed environment with a dynamic menu created by Peter and executive chef Joel Breakwell, who has been with sister restaurant Paco for three years, showcasing a blend of the best Italian and British ingredients.
